GeoRabble “GeoCareers” @ Geosmart Asia – Locate 18, Monday April 9th

GeoRabble is pleased to announce that we are holding a GeoRabble at Geosmart Asia – Locate 18. This event is going to be a special event about GeoCareers, and we’re going to have presenters from a variety of stages in their careers talk about the wins and the losses, the victory and defeat, and we can all learn a little bit about why we start and stay in the spatial industry.

The Rabble is FREE, and will be held in Adelaide, on Monday the 9th of April, from 4 to 5.30 pm in the Interaction Zone in the main exhibition hall.

The format the the afternoon is going to be a panel session, where a fine bunch of surveying and spatial professionals discuss their career, including mentors and mentoring, the institutions and committees, and the future! Come and take part in asking the questions and hearing the answers, and grab a drink and a bite to eat.

GeoRabble Brisbane #1 rocked! We had 107 registrations and although the numbers on the night are uncertain it was BIG. As the hordes arrived the organizers gave up on checkins, threw the pages of sticky name labels into the crowd and joined the party. Rain threatened and Lord of the Rabble Rob Clout was stressing, but on the night it was perfection and the outdoor venue (PigNWhistle) overlooking the river was sublime . The show went on and many people stayed on to rabble on late into the night. If you were there, or if you took any photos, we’d love to hear from you! If you weren’t there but wish you were, well, we’d love to hear from you also. Add a comment or send a tweet to @georabble !
